The Game Plan. I will be reading through the Bible through this year of 2011; little by little, chapter by chapter. I have always wanted to do this but have never committed to do so. This is me making a commitment.

Revelation 9-12

Revelation 9
The fifth trumpet sounded and a star fell from heaven to earth and was given the key to the bottomless pit.
He opened the bottomless pit and released locust upon the earth.
The locust were to torture men who did not have seal of God on their forehead for five months.
One woe has past, but there are two more still to come.
The sixth trumpet sounded and the four angels at the Euphrates were released and killed a third of mankind.
Those who weren’t killed did not repent.

Revelation 10
A mighty angel with a rainbow around his head had a little book that was open in his hands.
He stood on the earth and cried out causing seven thunders.
The angel then sealed up what he did and ascended to heaven.
John is told to eat the little book.
It is sweet eating it, but made his stomach bitter.
John is told that he must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings.

Revelation 11
John was given a reed to measure the temple, but told not to measure because it was given to the Gentiles.
Power is given to two witnesses, who will prophesy for one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
The witnesses have power to stop the rain from heaven, to turn water into blood, and strike plagues on the earth, as often as they desire.
The witnesses are killed by the beasts from the bottomless pit.
The witnesses bodies are left out and not put in graves for three and a half days.
The breath of life from God was breathed in them and there were made alive and ascended into heaven.
At the same time, an earthquake hit the earth and a tenth of the city fell and seven thousand people died.
The remaining people were afraid and gave glory to God.
The second woe is past.
The third woe is coming.
The seventh trumpet sounded and loud voices proclaimed the Lord and His kingdom.
The twenty four elders worshiped God.
The temple of God was opened and the ark of His covenant was seen.

Revelation 12
A great sign appeared in heaven.
A woman is about to have a child.
The dragon is waiting to devour the child once it is born.
When the Child s delivered, He is taken up to God and His throne.
The woman fled to the wilderness where God prepared a place for her for one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
War broke out in heaven.
Michael and his angels fought with the dragon.
The dragon and his angels fought but did not prevail.
The dragon, who was the Devil, was cast out with his angels from heaven.
The dragon persecutes the woman who birthed the Child.
She is given two wings to fly to the place God prepared for her.
The earth helps her evade the Devil.
The Devil is infuriated and then go to attack her offspring, those who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
